They're writing songs of love
But not for me
A happy star's above
But not for me
With love to lead the way
I've found more clouds of grey
Than any Russian play
Could guarantee
I was a fool to fall
And get that way
Heigh-ho! Alas!
And also lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me
He's knocking on a door
But not for me
He'll plan a two-by-four
But not for me
I know that love's a game
I'm puzzled just the same
Was I the moth or flame?
I'm all at sea
It all began so well
But what an end!
This is the time
A fellow needs a friend
When ev'ry happy plot
Ends with the marriage knot
And there's no knot for me
